Png files not exporting in correct color code

Hey everyone I've had this continual problem in illustrator with png exports, for some reason my png's export with duller, less saturated colors than what I am seeing inside of illustrator. However, my jpegs export correctly. I've been able to figure out that my png's are not exporting with the correct color code (sRGB), even if this option is selected in "save for web" options. I have been having to open the png's in Mac's preview program or opening them into photoshop and exporting with sRGB profile embedded from there. I figure there must be some setting I don't have selected within illustrator. Document color mode is RGB, working space is sRGB, "Color Management Policy" is preserve embeded profile, and under the "Assign Profile" option it is set to working space RGB: sRGB. Any suggestions?

I don't think there is anything wrong with the color management you are using.
I suspect that you are using Illustrator CS6.
Although you can specify that the image has to be converted to sRGB (and it probably does), the profile is not embedded in the file.
The latest CC version does, although you cannot check a box: ICC Profile like you can when saving JPEG.
I think the reasoning behind this could have been: "PNG is a web file format. and Browsers cannot be trusted with colormanagement, most of them think that all files are sRGB, so why embed the profile..."
So you did the right thing by assigning the profile in Photoshop.

  • Muse is not exporting the correct fonts.

    I was just about to update my website when I did a browser preview and noticed that two sections are not exporting the correct fonts. The font is not only wrong, but the size is dramatically increased - so much so that it is breaking the design (things that should be one line are now two) so much that I can not update the website until this issue is fixed. The one thing I know is related is that the error is only happening in three boxes that I recently worked with and did change the fonts (all of them typefi fonts) in design mode to look at the differences, but in the end I did not keep any of the changes. I checked and it's the same problem in both Firefox and Chrome. But, it is showing the correct fonts in Muse's preview window. Does anyone have an idea what's going on?

    You are not the only one having this problem i have a problem now with my system fonts only showing some of the families in that font
    atm i can't find my helvetica font in muse but i can see it fine in photoshop, indesign, and illustrator.
    its kinda pissing me off cause there is so many bugs atm with muse and fonts. and all we get each time is small ways to get it to work. then a new update comes up for muse and ruins it all again…
    they really need to fix this.

  • PNG files no longer display correctly...PLEASE HELP!

    Hi there, I just recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2. I have a project that I was working on prior to the upgrade and now making some changes in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.0. In my menus I am using a motion menu as the background and a PNG file created in Photoshop with transparent layers set as a Drop Zone so that the menu background can still be seen.
    These PNG files are no longer displaying correctly. It's really hard to explain except to say that anything that was transparent is now displaying a solid white. I have trashed the prefs and restarted with no improvement.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I was just going to make a small change for the client and now the whole project is not right.
    Many thanks, Simon.

    Hi:
    In DVDSP preferences, under Menu encoding settings change it from hardware based to software based or vice versa depending on what do you have now selected. Build again and check if it's solved.
    Hope that helps !

  • Photoshop CS2 Cannot read PNG files--"Not Enough Memory"

    Hi! I have a bit of a problem. I've scoured the interwebs for days but can't find a solution.
    My copy of PSCS2 was able to open PNGs in the past, but it just up and decided it doesn't want to anymore. I'm serious--I can't think of any major overhaul or anything I did to cause it, but now it won't read them correctly. It says there's "not enough memory," which doesn't really make sense, when I have a Macbook Pro and nothing running in the background. On top of that, the particular files I've been trying to open are barely 100kb. I've used canvases upwards of ten thousand square pixels in dimension with no problem.
    This is with any PNG file. It's not an "incorrect extension" problem, because I made these files and just need to reopen them to edit things.
    Here are some screenshots that show what's been happening; nothing exciting, but just in case someone notices something I don't:
    That's the picture I want to open.
    And that's what pops up.
    :/ I'm a little dumbfounded. Halp?

    Now, this is strange.
    I restarted my computer and now the message has changed--to a simple one, but albeit still confusing.
    Sigh.
    I didn't do anything but restart my computer.

  • BUG?? UTF-8 non-Latin database chars in IR csv export file not export right

    Hello,
    i have this issue: my database character set is UTF-8 (AL32UTF8) and contains data in a table used in IR that are Greek (non-Latin). While i can see them displayed correctly in IR and also via select / in Object Browser in SQL Workshop when i try to Download as csv the produced csv does not have the Greek characters exported correctly, while the Latin ones are ok.
    This problem is the same if i try IE or Firefox. Also the export in HTML works successfully and i see the Greek characters there correctly!
    Is there any issue with UTF-8 and non-Latin characters in export to csv from IRs ? Can someone confirm this, or has a similar export problem with UTF-8 DB and non-Latin characters ?
    How could i solve this issue ?
    TIA

    Hello Joel,
    thanks for taking the time to answer to my Issue. Well this does not work for my case as the source of data (Database character set) is UTF-8. The Data inside the database that are shown in the IR on the Screen is UTF-8 and this is done correctly. You can see this in my example. The actual Data in the Database are from multiple languages, English, Greek, German, Bulgarian etc that's why i selected the UTF-8 character set when implementing the Database and this requirement was for all character data. Also the suggested character set from Oracle is Unicode when you create a Database and you have to support data from multiple languages.
    What is the requirement, is that what i see in the IR (i mean in Display) i need to export in CSV file correctly and this is what i expect from the Download as CSV feature to achieve. I understand that you had in mind Excel when implementing this feature but a CSV is just an easy way to export the Data - a Comma Separated Values file, not necessarily to open them directly in Excel. Also i want to add here that in Excel you can import the Data in UTF-8 encoding when importing from CSV, which is fine for my customer. Also Excel 2008 and later understands a UTF-8 CSV file if you have placed the UTF-8 BOM character at the start of the file (well, it drops you to the wizzard, but it's almost the same as importing).
    Since the feature you describe and if i understood correctly is creating always an ANSI encoded file in every case, even when the Database character set is UTF-8, it is impossible to export correctly if i have data that are neither in Latin, not in the other 128 country specific characters i choose in Globalization attributes and these data is that i see in Display and need to export to CSV. I believe that this feature in case the Database character set is UTF-8 should create a CSV file that is UTF-8 encoded and export correctly what i see i the screen and i suspect that others would also expect this behaviour. Or at least you can allow/implement(?) this behaviour when Automatic CSV encoding is set to No. But i stongly believe - and especially from the eyes of a user - to have different things in screen and in the depicted CSV file is a bug, not a feature.
    I would like to have comments on this from other people here too.

  • Why does Adobe draw create png files, not vector?

    I cant work out why Adobe creates png files. I have old Adobe ideas files and these work fine as vector graphics, but draw just keeps creating png files when I need vector, can you help please

    Sadly you can't. The model Adobe has set up is that you need to send the file to Illustrator, and can only send to Illustrator CC - not even CS6. Even though I have CC and can use the feature, it is really annoying that it can only spit out low quality pngs as sometimes I want to just knock up something quickly on my iPad, export it and mail it on. The only real option is to stick to using Ideas.
    Updated: It looks like they may have lifted the restriction on you having to have a Creative Cloud account as of the last release, so maybe you can now export to CS6

  • Unable to open PNG files "not the right kind of document"

    I just noticed this error today when I tried to open several PNG files, some of which I created with Photoshop: "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".
    I'm running Photoshop 9.0.2 on Windows XP Pro. Opening other file types (gif, jpg) works fine. I also noticed that in the save as dialog box that PNG is not a listed file type.

    PNG certainly is listed as a file type. I have saved many of them using Save As, many quite recently, using PSCS3; and I just did a couple in PSCS2. Here's the Save As box in PSCS2 with an 8-bit flattened image being saved as PNG:
    <br />
    <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91" /></a>
    <img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1PSNAANh2tPbX1MMDLjmQLbHFqm91_thumb.png" border="0" />
    <br />And here's the Save As box in CS2 with a 16-bit layered image being saved as PNG:
    <br />
    <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=145dp6qArIbj9k8JG23J1jGojM4imR1" /></a>

    <br />
    <br />Both PNG images opened properly. The second one opened as 16-bit, flattened (layers aren't preserved in PNG).
    <br />
    <br />And both of the above images were Saved As PNG from PSCS2, also.

  • .png file not showing up on windows VM

    Hello,
    I have users who are having issues seeing .png files when using a windows VM.  This is a windows environment.  The business partner is using a Mac pro and creates the .png file in creative suite and saves the file to a windows 2008 server.  When they try to insert the file into a powerpoint on their Windows 7 VM, they cannot find the file.  It shows up about 10-15 mins later.  But they can access it from the Mac right away.  We are running Extremez IP on the server.  Is this a known issue with this OS/macs in windows environment/extremez IP?

I was able to get to the console one time and it went to a blue screen saying that if i recently installed anything try to uninstall it and so on. The error was something like 0x000007B and some other numbers.

However my issue with the disk not showing up is still an issue. Thanks.You need to log an SR with Oracle Support for this.

  • PNG files not displaying - is this a problem in BC / Flexslider2 issue slider too big

    Hi,
    I have uploaded a site dmrural.leapfrogdesign.com.au/index.html and I noticed my png files are not displaying.  Is there a problem with using png files on BC?
    Also I know this is not BC related but I would really appreciate if if someone could tell me how to reduce the size of my flexslider (i am using bootstrap 2.3.2) - it's my first site in bootstrap.
    Thanks,
    Tammy

    They work for me. For example I see the logo on the homepage
    http://dmrural.leapfrogdesign.com.au/img/logo.png
    As for the slider images size you can use something like this:
    .slides {
        max-width: 50%;

  • PNG files not opening in Fireworks in XP

    In Windows Explorer, when I click on a .png file, it opens in
    the picture viewer, not Fireworks. I've tried to associate .png
    files to Fireworks, but it does not work. What steps do I need to
    take to change XP registry to make this happen? Thanks!

    HI Tracey, hmmm this is unusual indeed.I'd concur this is not pecifically a Compressor.app issue, more likley the sub-coponents.
    Just another thought... would you have a look in /var/logs/ or use the console.app to see if there are any error messages issued by Quicktime X.app when you attempt to open the seond clip? It was usual that QT would display an error through the QT ui.... but who knows.
    There maybe some other error messgae  indirecty related by an asynchronous process that is kicked off by QT through the framework... again who knows.
    Anyway if you see any unual error messages relating to the DECODing of the clip, you might post these for the readers to see and perhaps attempt then to isoltae the QT X opening issue.
    post your results back for others to see if you can.

  • Png files not uploading

    I'm using a couple of png files on a page. If I upload the page and choose to upload the dependent files - which would include the png files - the png files never upload to the server. Jpg and gif files get uploaded fine, but not png. When I view the files in local view, the png files have red slash through them. What the...? CS5.5 is what I'm using. Any clues?

    When I view the files in local view, the png files have red slash through them.
    The red slash means that your png files are "cloaked" (to use DW lingo).
    Cloaking is a feature in DW which enables you to mark file types or folders to be excluded from site operations such as Get and Put. e.g. you might upload a huge file just once then exclude it from future Puts to speed up your workflow. Sounds like your pngs have been cloaked inadvertently.

  • Premiere CC's XML and EDL files not being interpreted correctly by Redcine-X - clip duration problem

    I'm having a recurring problem when sending a finished sequence to Redcine-X for final color correction.
    Redcine-X doesn't read the in and out points on seemingly random clips in a timeline, making the problem clips overlap onto the surrounding clips on the same timeline track. So halfway through the video, one of the clips will just keep playing all the way to the end, and all the other clips that should be playing stay invisible in the viewer. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
    The reason I'm posting here rather than on Redcine-X's support is because the problem seems to be coming from the way Premiere generates the XML. FCP's XMLs are interpreted correctly.
    I've tried removing all effects and speed changes before exporting XMLs from Premiere. I've restarted, trashed prefs and cleared cache in Premiere. I've tried on two different computers. I've also tried exporting EDLs and the same problem happens.
    My Premiere sequence is using proxy ProRes files, created from R3D files that RCX relinks upon import.
    System/Software info:
    Premiere CC is up to date
    Running the newest Redcine-X build 22.2.31684
    Macbook Pro Retina running OS 10.8.4 with NVIDIA GeForce GT650M 1024mb, CUDA is updated, 16 GB RAM
    Mac Pro running 10.8.5 with ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB, 4 GB RAM
    As a side note: Premiere CC has been extremely disappointing so far. I'm having so many issues and crashes, so many advertised features seem to be buggy or not work at all, and Adobe makes it so hard find or get support. None of the threads on this community board have been helpful so instead of going through this arduous process I just fall back to using FCP7. I hope it gets better.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hey Sam... just wondering if you ever figured this problem out.  I have the exact same problem, albeit with FCPX XML's.  It's driving me bonkers and nobody seems to know.  Any insight would be truly appreciated.  Thanks.
